Patient's question:
[All symptoms: How should a 7-month-old baby get adequate calcium? Onset time and cause: Treatment status: Help desired: Methods for calcium supplementation for a 7-month-old baby]Doctor's answer:
If it is found that the child needs to supplement calcium, then considerations can be made in terms of complementary foods or calcium supplements, because generally babies have already started on complementary foods between the ages of four to six months, so calcium can be supplemented through these foods. High-calcium foods are very common in the food category, such as fish, eggs, soy products, shrimp skin, bone broth, black fungus, sesame, etc., all of which are rich in calcium. Soy products like soy milk, soy powder, tofu, and fermented bamboo shoots also have a considerable amount of calcium. Dairy products such as fresh milk, yogurt, and cheese are rich in calcium and are excellent sources of calcium for children. Additionally, vegetables are also a source of calcium, such as daylily, carrots, small cabbage, and small rapeseed greens, which are not only rich in vitamins but also provide the body with calcium and should be consumed more often in daily life. Exposing the baby to sunlight is also helpful for calcium absorption, so it's a good idea to take the baby out in the sun when there's no particular need.
